ne of the hottest pros on the FLW Tour this
year is a rookie.
Heading into the 2017 campaign, Jeremy Lawyer
had never so much as fished as a co-angler in a
regular-season Tour event, but the Missouri pro
already has fished in one Forrest Wood Cup and
qualified for another. He reached the 2016 Cup
last August by winning the T-H Marine FLW Bass
Fishing League All-American title at Lake Barkley.
After placing fifth in the Cup, in early November
Lawyer wound up seventh in the Costa FLW Series
Championship on Table Rock, which earned him a
spot in the 2017 Cup. A week later, he finished
fourth in the BFL Wild Card on Lake of the Ozarks,
which got the angler from Sarcoxie, Mo., an invita-
tion to the 2017 All-American on Pickwick Lake.
